PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing Natto (fermented soybeans)-like bean processed food having higher palatability than conventional Natto.SOLUTION: The method for producing Natto-like bean processed food includes: a step of adding a γ-polyglutamic acid containing composition to boiled beans, or adding the boiled beans to the γ-polyglutamic acid containing composition. The Natto-like bean processed food obtained by the production method has both "a flavor and a texture of the boiled beans" (usually, the flavor and texture are lost by fermentation) and "a flavor of Natto and a sticky texture".COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】従来の納豆よりも嗜好性の高い納豆様豆加工食品を製造する方法を提供する。【解決手段】煮豆にγ-ポリグルタミン酸含有組成物を添加する工程、又は、γ-ポリグルタミン酸含有組成物に煮豆を添加する工程、を含む納豆様豆加工食品の製造方法。該製造方法により得られた納豆様豆加工食品は、‘煮豆の風味と食感(通常は発酵によって失われる風味や食感)’と‘納豆の風味、ネバの食感’を併せ持つ。【選択図】図1
